Thanks to the author for an ARC in exchange for my honest review. Overall a decent shifter romance! The author did lean way more into the spice than the plot. Shifter stuff was slow built but the romance wasn't! That started fast. Kind of an instant mutual attraction in a "let's bone on the burn site" type way. Not opposed to it though. My biggest issues had to do with repitition. For example, the phrase "you're trouble" came up over and over again. She took her motorcycle helmet off tricep in one page, Cyrus told his boss on one page they had an issue with wolves and then the next page said they had an issue with wolves. I'm unsure if the author was rushing to get this out, but I feel like a careful editor could have prevented these issues. If you want a quick and easy to read shifter romance with a woman in STEM then you've found your next read!

1. If you liked Lights Out, Shadowed Obsession, or any other book with communication and stalkers and masks, this is 100% for us.
2. Abigail Kelly hit it out of the park AGAIN! We get to see yet another expansion on her fascinating NPU and I, for one, am so so here for it. Cece was sweet and bubbly but determined. Sloane was silent and strong and devoted but was certainly awkward. The craft of character building is something Abigail has mastered and something I cannot simply be tired of- her universe is broad and I adore it. I think every book I have read, I've said it's my new favorite, only to read the next one and say the same. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants a good dark(er) romance, a stalker/kidnapper romance, fated mates, and/or an urban fantasy with a massive universe around it you can read and indulge in.

Thanks for the author for an A.R.C.- my review is unbiased and honest.
